Solution

The correct option is C Left over Graafian follicle after release of ovum
The mature ovum is released from the Graafian follicle under the stimulation of LH hormone. The leftover forms an endocrine gland which releases progesterone and helps to maintain pregnancy by decidualization of the endometrium in case of fertilization of eggs. If the ovum is not fertilized by the sperm the corpus luteum degenerates
So, the correct answer is 'Left over Graafian follicle after release of ovum'
